Well, he hasn't gotten a reply here, so maybe a u2u to one of the owners would get him answers quicker instead of post after post.

Onto another problem.....

On some threads in BTS (especially DATS), when "reply to:" is clicked, everyone is getting a white page with "error" in the upper left hand
corner. Quote works fine and Post Reply works fine, but when people try to reply to a specific post, we get the one word error white page.

Why would we not?

What qualifies something as a "demonic spell?"

Paranormal, metaphysical, and alternative spirituality have long been a part of ATS topics.

SkepticOverlord,

thanks for your reply. I really appreciate it.

I could give you a lengthy definition of "demonic spell", but I won't beat around the bush. It boils down to my personal understanding and
experience: demonic spells are real and possibly harmful to a person's psyche. Do you feel that this statement is true, or do you think that demonic
spells can do no harm?

in other words, your "definition", "understanding" and "experience" trump all? ... or at least others?

I can attest to this. It is very annoying. And only seems to have happened once the thread went past 1,000 pages.

might i suggest growing your mind?

welcome to ats

What is your beef with me? I was addressing one of the owners of ATS, not you. Also your questions don't seem to be intellectually honest. I don't
think my statement was hard to follow?

My point of view on this subject is subjective, because it's based on my understanding and experience. I've said it twice before: you are entitled
to your opinion. I have mine.

I'm glad that ATS gives us a platform for paranormal topics. I highly value that, but posting a link to demonic spells is just irresponsible and
potentially harmful to one's psyche. It's bothering me that the OP, by his own words, is sending people into harms way. I feel that this kind of
link is not appropriate on ATS. It's also a form of advertisement that is very questionable.

I have no religious motivations. I just don't want people to get burned by this. You don't give toddlers access to scissors or fire. And no, I
don't belittle the ATS membership, but novices will get burned by this stuff and the scars will last a lifetime. IMHO the mods should have deleted
the link!

I understand that ATS has to walk a fine line between censorship and free discussion, for my taste that OP clearly crossed the line.

It's an arbitrary line open to personal interpretation as defined by one's cultural and/or religious upbringing. We've had similar complaints
regarding discussions about Wicca, the Church of Satan, Shamanism, etc. and will be consistent in our response: it's up to the individual to choose
whether or not they read the info, reply to it, or give it credence. Period.
